Bella POV-
It wasn't but 30 minutes before we finally stopped. We were in some sort of warehouse in the middle of the woods. Victoria threw me on the ground and tied my hands and feet together with a rope that was tied to the wall. "Where are we?" I demanded an answer. I couldn't act as scared as I felt because that would freak Edward out even more.
"Pennsylvania." She responded. "Somewhere Edward will never find you."
"You don't know what he's capable of." I spat through gritted teeth. If I was ever in danger, Edward went into some sort of frenzy. No one gets in his way and nothing stops him from saving me. Even if it requires killing.
"Oh, but I do. You see, I have run so far from Riverdale, that he would have to track your scent across the state. Plus, I grabbed a crap ton of your clothes from your closet after you left Forks and gave them to the newborns to spread across New York. He won't know which one is actually yours." She smiled. I hated that smile. "Now, shut up before I actually kill you." She shoved a piece of clothe in my mouth and tied it around my head.
I began to squirm. I tried to scream, but of course the clothe muffled it to the point that it sounded like nothing. Then I felt a cold hand fly across my face. My vision started going black and the last thing I saw was the warehouse doors closing and Victoria walking away.
Edward POV-
I didn't stop running. The other vampires caught up with me and Scott's pack followed us in their jeep. I could hear it's motor struggling to get through the tight woods.
"Edward!" I heard Scott call from behind. I stopped and turned around as they pulled up next to us. "I caught her scent!"
"Where?!" We all replied at the same time.
"Back about 20 yards. It splits off into 5 different directions, but only one has Victoria's scent." I didn't hear the rest before I bolted off into the woods.
Caroline POV-
I was scared for Edward and my 'mama-bear' instincts were kicking in. I have always been protective of humans who meant something to someone. And the way Edward and Bella act around each other shows me how much they love each other. That's why I am so desperate to find her. Edward loves Bella like I love Stefan, only Stefan is also a vampire and he is not in any danger. Bella on the other hand is a fragile human, weak and vulnerable when it comes to vampires. So when Edward ran towards the scent that Scott found, I was the first to follow.
We ran for miles, the scent strong against Victoria's. We could sense the the other newborn's tracks trying to trick us, but we knew that Victoria only trusted herself with Bella. Then something stopped Edward dead in his tracks, his eyes wide with horror.
A loud, ear-piercing scream rang out into the woods. And there was only one person that it could have come from.
Bella.
Bella POV-
It wasn't long before my eyes were open again. It had to be at least 10 minutes. But I wish I hadn't opened my eyes, because the vampire I saw there was not the one I wanted.
Victoria stood there, hovering over me. Her red hair was draped over her face as she looked down on me. "Good morning." she said sarcastically. I just rolled my eyes. I refused to show her how scared I actually was. I wasn't just scared, I was terrified. Terrified of what she might do. "Sassy now are we? Well that should change pretty soon. Riley!" she screamed the name.
In came a dirty blonde headed boy who wasn't much older than me. He had blood red eyes that glared at me. "Is it time?"
She ripped the cloth out of my mouth and shook her head, telling him that it was time for her plan to kill me to begin. I began to shake vigorously. I wasn't ready to die. I couldn't do that to Edward. "I want him to hear you scream." Victoria gave me her devil smile and walked away from me.
After she left, 6 other vampires walked into the warehouse, all of their eyes red. They weren't all kids, but they were all newborns. They were also all male. Riley stayed behind to enjoy the show I guess. They all watched Riley, waiting for his signal. All it took was a nod of his head from them to slowly get closer to me. I curled up into a ball, my human instincts taking over me and self preservation kicking in.
I suddenly felt my arms being yanked behind me and a foot come down on my back. The pain was so excruciating, I almost gave in and screamed. But I resisted, and hoped that Edward was nearby.
I was hit multiple times on my face, arms, and legs. But it wasn't until I felt someone crush my ankles under their hands that I screamed as loud as I could. I screamed so loud, the other vampires put their hands over their ears and backed away.
They all stopped for a second, walked out, and stayed outside for a few minutes. Victoria came back in, causing me to scream again. I hoped that if I screamed enough, Edward would hear and come save me. She suddenly stuffed the cloth back in my mouth, slapped me across the face, and walked out of the warehouse, closing the door behind her.
